Sounding interesting.

WOW

On-one.co.uk - have a look there

Nice one! Your Spruit will never be the same. Enjoy!

How's that working out for you?

Bwahahaha

So I lost my cassette lockring tool, I thought no problem (I don't tighten my cog that tight anyways.) So I used a screwdriver to gently remove the lockring. Great. Replaced the cog with desired one. Tightened the lockring as much as possible by hand and was just "nipping" it tight with said screwdriver when it slipped and neatly ripped the tip of my thumb (almost) off. Thanks to elastoplast for keeping me together.....My wife's still pissed that I bled on the carpet on the way to the first aid box.... I know - lesson learned. Already bought a new tool. Edit: this involved a bike and an accident, that could have been avoided.

Doesn't matter, as long as you lube. I recently tried some Herschells chain wax from Builder's Warehouse (designed for motorbikes and chainsaws). R25 for a bottle the same size as White Lightning. It works really well and lasts a long time, around 250-offroad-km but gets messy after a while. It's also very thick on application, almost like hand lotion. Not a bad R25 experiment though.....

I always get lekker Stan's coral in my tyres after about 2-3 months.

Like a baus.

1. cut a skewer (you can use whatever) at exactly 67.5mm. why 67.5? it is your hub width 135mm divided by two. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w298/carl_camote/001-8.jpg 2. using your skewer, measure your front chainline. measure from the center of the seat tube to the center of the chainring. mark it. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w298/carl_camote/002-5.jpg 3. flip the skewer and measure the rear chainline. measure from where the frame and locknut touches to the center of the cog. now, the cog should be exactly where the tip of your skewer is. adjust the spacers if necessary. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w298/carl_camote/003-2.jpg

I would like to know how long a HD lasted as a rear tyre doing all-duty rides: XC, AM, commuting etc. ie. how good is it as an all-round, do-everything tyre. For when my Nobby Nics wear out....

^^^ he's right....

I wouldn't sell my On-One SS......

Install a tube first, pump to 2,5 bar and leave like that for 30min for the tyre to learn the shape. Then remove tube, install valve and you should have no issues.

Seeing as my pics went missing when someone broke the Hub.....

Check the wear using a chain-length-checking tool. If it's past 0.75% replace it.

Single speed CX bikes are beautiful!

Yes, if you are wearing the big girl panties.

Hakahana is tough but not as nice as VG. SS since 2010.

That looks good. I know I started this thread, but I have entered the Nissan Trailseeker at Cullinan. Last year it was my first ever marathon-distance race and it broke me properly. I cramped from 40km to the end. Not so this year, I am doing it to get the monkey off my back and set a hugely improved time. Last year I did over 4 hours. I am hoping for a sub-3:30 this year. Single speed of course....

Entered 70km SS. Last year's race was my first 70 ever and I cramped from 40 to the end in over 4 hours, in that stupid wind. The race got the better of me last year, not so in 2013. Bring it ON. This time, it's personal.

Shame they made the poor oke use Avid brakes.
